TOBACCO rrrn.

Application filed April 18, 1922. Serial No. 554,411.

To all whomz't may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE C. Connns,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved tobacco pipe and more particularly to a pipe wherein the smoke passage of the stem is provided with an interchangeable tube composed of fiber or paper with an inner lining of paper or cloth ,to absorb the moisture and nicotine.

A further object of'the invention is to provide an intake or pipe stem of the character stated above that is extremely cheap to manufacture so that it can be.removed and destroyed after it has once become saturated.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an intake or a pipe stem whose inner wall is formed of a material that will serve to extract the nicotine from the smoke passing through the stem and whose outer 2 wallis formed of a highly absorbent material so as to absorb the moisture and the nicotine thus collected.

Various other objects of my invention will become apparent during the continuance of the following description.

In the drawings 2- Figure -1 is a view in longitudinal crosssection taken through the body of a pipe showing my invention partly in elevation and partly in longitudinal section.

Figure 2 is a view in transverse crosssection taken on line 22 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3 is a view in perspective showing my invention as in its preferred embodiment, apart of the outer casing being shown cut away. p

. In describing my invention more in detail,

designates the bodyportion of a pipe of conventional form while 11 indicates the re, movable stem or mouthpiece; It will be readily observed that the mouthpiece 11 is held in frictional engagement with the body of thepipe 10 by means of an extension 12 that enters the cut-out 13. This construc- In providing for the accommodation of my invention, the body of the pipe is. enlarged about the passage that extends longitudinally therethru to provide an elongated opening 14 while the mouthpiece 11 is also cut away about the smoke passage to provide a recess 15. Upon reference to Figure lit will be noted that the opening 14 terminates short of the bowl of the pipe thus forming a shoulder 16 and that the enlarged cut-away portion of the mouth iece 11 terminates short of the free end 0 the mouthpiece by an annular shoulder '17. The shoulders 16 and 17 mark the ends of the enlarged passage to receive the insert of my invention.

The insert consists of a sleeve like member composed of an inner casing 18 through which the smoke asses and an outer casing 19. The insert lits snugly within the enlarged portion of the smoke passages 14 and and the smoke passes throu h the inner casing as will be observed in re erence to Figure 1. The inner casing 18 which is exposed to the smoke is preferably constructed of aper or cloth such as will serve to absorb t e moisture and nicotine at a rapid rate during the smoking operation. The outer casing 19 is preferably com ed of fiber or paper so as to slowly absor the moisture or nicotinefrom the inner casing and is of a greater thickness than the inner casing, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to have greater capacity. I

By providing an insert of inner and outer absorbent casings in which the outer casing functions to slowly cleanse the inner casing,

it will be observed that the moisture and nicotine collected from the smoke by the inner casing will be gradually absorbed by the outer casing and that when the pipe is allowed to stand for a length 'of time the inner casing will gradually become dry.

The insert is readily removable when the mouthpiece 11 is disengaged from the body of the pipe and a new insert can be arranged in place quickly and easily. Moreover because of. its' cheapness to manufacture the inserts can be bought inquantity and a new one inserted whenever needed. I
